Re: Can a mature Goa'uld take a Jaffa as a host?

Not while the Jaffa is still carrying a symbiote in his pouch, otherwise it is possible but unlikely considering their "low status". It would probably only occur if there was an emergency and no other hosts were available.

Nothing is the same and she doesn't know who to trust and what she wants anymore, other than keeping her daughter safe. Jack knows exactly what he wants and makes sure he's there for them, even before he learns the truth.

i imagine when the goa'uld is removed when it is full gown, and takes a host (as seen in children of the gods). and the jafa gets a new one. but if not removed it could take over the jafa, but i imagine it would take over a human that is near it.

Re: Can a mature Goa'uld take a Jaffa as a host?

I think it's possible but it didn't help that the writers later contradicted that and made it messy. It would also explain the whole Imhotep theory and I guess it would be possible. Since the Goa'uld replaced the immune system of the Jaffa I guess it wouldn't matter where in the body they were, they could probably still function as it while taking over the host. I don't know, the writers should have been clear on this but I say that it's possible more from what they have shown us and less from what they have told us.

Re: Can a mature Goa'uld take a Jaffa as a host?

Probably two main issues:
a) it would be degrading for the symbiote to use a Jaffa "servant" as new host
b) if there was no new host, the Jaffa would die if the symbiote found a new host when it matured - I might have been remembering that part of the issue
